INFORMATION ON INDOOR POLLUTANTS
VOC (VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUND):
VOCs come from motor vehicle exhausts, gasoline vapour, pollutants such as formaldehyde, ammonia and many other common and chemical solvents such as paints and glues, or can be a by-product of mould growth. VOCs cause irritation to the eyes and or nose as well as causing headaches, nausea and even potential damage to the central nervous system. Pressed wood furniture, newly decorated rooms, paint and cleaning solvents are common sources of VOCs.
MOULD / FUNGUS
These can affect our respiratory system and cause allergic reactions, like a runny nose, eye and throat irritation, headaches, fatigue and aggravation of asthma. Other indoor pollutants include bacteria, viruses, dust mites and pollen.
EMISSIONS FROM ELECTRONIC OFFICE EQUIPMENT
Many studies, including those from EPA and the University of California Berkley, have reported that emissions from office equipment such as computers and printers, include VOCs, ultra-fine particles and ozone. These emissions have been proven to have a negative effect on the health of many people which can be reduced by using an air purifier.
USING HEPA FILTERS , ACTIVATED CARBON FILTERS AND IONISERS
An effective HEPA filter is absolutely necessary to remove particles, even at a microscopic level; it ensures that the particles are not spread. The ioniser will automatically operate while the unit is running to sterilise the air and reduce bacterial growth.
The antibacterial activated carbon in the EAPDC150HCST is a natural material biosynthesized from walnut shell, the absorption area of activated carbon is very large at up to 300,000 square meters. The activated carbon filter will absorb unpleasant odours and reduce the VOC content in the air.

ENERGY SAVING AND UNIT SAFETY PROTECTION TIPS
- Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills.
- For maximum performance and safety, the minimum distance from a wall or objects should be 20cm. Keep away from other electrical appliances.
- Keep the filters clean. Under normal conditions, filters should only need cleaning once every two weeks (approximately). Since the filters remove airborne particles, more frequent cleaning maybe necessary, depending on the air quality.
- Replace the filters regularly as instructed.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Always turn off the unit and unplug from the mains before cleaning or performing any maintenance. If the unit is not to be used for a prolonged period it is advisable to unplug it from the mains. Do not use chemical solvents (such as benzene, alcohol or gasoline) as they may causeir reversible damage to the unit
CLEAN THE EXTERNAL CASE
Only use tepid water and a mild detergent on a soft cloth. Do not use bleach or abrasives. Do not splash water directly onto the appliance. Avoid wetting the DC power port. Doing so may cause an electrical shock and can lead to deterioration of the electrical insulation, or cause the unit to rust.
CLEAN THE FILTER AND THE FILTER HOLDING AREA
Vacuum the filter gently every 2-3 weeks or more often if used in a dustier environment. Please make sure the filter is not damaged during the process and replace if necessary. Wipe the filter holding area with a dry cloth.
Replacement filter cartridges can be purchased using the code: FIL EAPDC150HCST.
CLEAN THE FILTER COVER AND CLEAN AIR OUTLET
Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abrasives. Do not spray water onto or inside the unit. If the clean air outlet grilles are dirty, use a vacuum attachment or soft brush to clean. Clean the filter cover with a vacuum cleaner, if it is heavily soiled remove it from the unit and wash with warm soapy water. It must be dried thoroughly before reinserting it in the unit.
NOTE: Do not assemble the unit before all the parts are completely dry. Any maintenance not described in this user manual must be performed by the service centre.
